Don't Ever Cry, Just Remember

I must have stood for hours
 The mist of dawn still rising
 Brushing from my face
 Cold tears of finally knowing
 The world that we had twisted
 The years of strength and glory
 Were wicked and obscene
 And there we stood so proud
 What legends we must be
 Really something to behold Lord
 So irresponsible
 With the powers of creation
 A princess crowned in jewels
 Robed in the finest cloth
 Dauntlessly invincible
 So perfect so unreal
 In one great moment judgements fallen
 Babylon no longer there
 Gone are her streets her giant towers
 Disappeared into thin air
 Don't ever cry just remember
 It must have been my mood
 I'm usually much stronger now
 I know there's just one way
 And this is how it has to be
 There was poison in our thoughts
 And there was hatred in our eyes
 Suddenly something came
 Something made it right
 We purged our hearts and souls
 And we saw through children's eyes
 Not stifled by the pain
 Not blinded by our
 Human nature don't you see at all
 The wisdom of our suffering
 The lies behind our ways
 The reasons for the end
 From the moment I was raptured
 Babylonia disappeared
 I now return here a survivor
 The rest have vanished to thin air
 Don't ever cry just remember
 The wind blows cold tonight
 No lamplights from no windows
 I am sure enough alone
 And I am sure enough alive
 So through eternity
 The gift of light gets passed along
 to those of us who saw
 What the rest could never see
 Born to a fallen world
 Longing for a morning star
 Held on high
 For me
 As this vision comes to close
 The last footsteps ever wonder here
 They echo in my mind
 Never to return
 All is done and slowly fading
 Babylon she once stood there
 I walked her streets I climbed her mountains
 I disappear into thin air
 Don't ever cry just remember
